On Sunday, February 22nd we will be hosting a special screening of the documentary film Flyway of Life. The director, Tomas Koeck will be at the screening to talk about his project and to answer questions about his experiences. He has been a real hit with some of our members already 🤭.

This event is open to everyone, not just Bird Club members. So, please bring anyone from the community you think will enjoy it! Since this time of year is when we normally host our Annual Meeting, there will be a very brief presentation of the Club’s Recent activities. You can hold me personally responsible for that “very brief”, by the way. You will also be able to pay your membership dues, if you so choose, which are $30 per person of $50 per family (or the equivalent in colones). Please bring exact change since our change makers have gone on strike this year.

There will be snacks and beverages for both adults (i.e. Beer and Wine) and children (i.e. juice and whatnot). Everything will be kicking off around 5 PM in the Reception of the Wilson Botanical Garden.

Please come and enjoy this spectacular film and the even more spectacular company!

Please joint us this Sunday, February 8th for a special bird walk with local kids and parents. This time they will come because this time they know the can! We’ll be guiding small groups of kids and parents on short walks, and there will also be some other activities from the Detectives de aves curriculum. Please come, help out and have some fun. We’ll meet at the Reception of the Wilson Botanical Gardens around 7:45. The kids should be showing up around 8. See you there!

This Sunday, January 25th is Environmental Education Day. To help the Wilson Gardens celebrate we will be sharing our time, knowledge and passion with several groups of kids and their parents who will be coming to enjoy the Gardens and the Birds. An as yet to be determined number of kids with be coming around 8 AM and the plan is to divide them up in groups of 10 or so and take them for a walk with binoculars for 30 minutes or so among other things. It will be a lot of fun! You don’t have to speak Spanish to help out, but those of you who are comfortable doing so may be put to work! This is a great chance to chat with your neighbors.

We’ll be meeting at the Reception around 7:45 AM to get ourselves organized. The survivors can have coffee afterwards.

I hope to see you all there!

Please join us for the last Bird Walk of 2025! Same time, same place, i.e. the Reception building of the Wilson Botanical Gardens at 7 AM.

See you there!

We’ll be having a bird walk open to the public this Sunday December 14th at the Wilson Botanical Gardens. We’ll meet at 7 AM at the Reception. There will be binoculars available.

NOTE: The parsimony of this announcement is all Peter’s doing because Alison had the nerve to take the week off.

Please join us for a special Bird Walk this Sunday to welcome Doug Wilson’s family to San Vito! Doug has been a huge supporter of the Bird Club and the community for decades and we want to show his family visiting from California the best side of San Vito. They can’t come often and they won’t be here for long. So please join us this Sunday at the Wilson Botanical Gardens. We’ll meet at the reception at 7 AM. Be there!

Please join us for the Open House at the Wilson Botanical Gardens on Sunday, June 8th. The Bird Club has always supported this event.

Each year we have a bake sale and donate the proceeds to the Gardens. If you want to help out by baking something, please fill out this FORM so we know what to expect. I hope to see everyone who is still in San Vito there!
